For a deposit-led bank, the connections matter: deposit relationships contribute to funding, lending requires credit and risk processes, while trust and UITF services can add advisory, administration and asset-management income.

Rivalry can arise when providers compete for balances, borrowers and affluent or institutional mandates. Supplier power is relevant to funding providers, specialist talent, technology and critical service partners, while buyer power concerns customers able to compare rates, fees, convenience and service quality. New entrants may target selected financial needs, and substitutes include non-bank ways to save, borrow, invest or obtain payment-related services.
